Question regarding piracy

Forrest_Gump SG

Hi guys.I was contemplating this question

With mp3, videos, streaming, all these things

You know downloading of interllectual rights is stealing

Does anyone know what buddhism say about these things?

Cause for me I don't have much money to get these stuff, like for e.g now I am trying to find educational products to enhance my career, i don't have money to buy, but i can download. Whats all your views on this. Thanks

My Master say next time ppl will owe each other karmically big time with piracy issues.

Especially with computer.

He 'foresaw' that like in the 1980s, definitely when computer not yet popular.. and there was no such thing as torrent yet.

Hi forrest gump

what kind of career enhancing educatinal products.
Nowadays there are a lot of open source software that can match the license software in terms of quality.
I have a original adobe photoshop that comes with my camera but still prefer to use gimp for graphic editing.
You can use Open Office to substitute Microsoft Office.
The windows operating system is the only software that cost me money, but so many features inside, it is worth to buy original one.
You can use linux operating system which is also free.
For download of mp3 song, try your best to avoid it lor.

Thanks guys.

I will not download any mp3s/software etc

Going original. Buy everything based on what I can afford~

Instead of downloading songs illegally, go for online stores or real stores.

I have suscribed some legal pay sites to download my songs...

Same for VCD, etc... nowadays more online shops are coming up. If you really don't want to walk to the shop, that is.
